Participants can opt to start with an optional guided walking tour of the Oltrarno district, the historic center of Florentine craftsmanship. As they wander between San Frediano and Santo Spirito, the guide will share insights into the origins of Tuscan leatherworking and textile arts, which date back to the Middle Ages when wool, silk, and leather brought wealth and influence to Florence.
During the tour, participants will encounter workshops and historic streets where artisans continue to practice leatherworking, ceramics, and woodworking, preserving skills handed down through generations.
The experience continues, or begins if the workshop-only option is chosen, at the PIERO TUCCI Boutique within Palazzo Gondi.
